Books & CDs by Judi Lawson Wallace

Inspired by the interest in Bike South 2000, the authors have compiled a guide on CD-ROM that showcases the best bike routes in the area surrounding Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The 56 routes all start in Forsyth County and loop into the surrounding countryside with a few routes within Winston-Salem. Each route is a separate file that is easy to download and print. They range in length from family rides that are less than a mile along a greenway, to 70-mile rides for the serious cyclist. Although most of the rides are designed for road biking, a few off-road trails for mountain bikers are included. An index and List of Routes by Mileage are helpful features.

From the Tryon Palace in New Bern to the forested slopes of Pilot Mountain, enjoy the beautiful sights and landscapes of North Carolina on two wheels. Try out every one of the 40 carefully designed tours, which range in length from 10 miles to over 100 miles, covering a whole range of abilities and fitness levels. The book’s format makes it easy to use:

Detailed profiles of each ride, including traffic conditions, terrain, and length

Vivid descriptions of points of interest

Listings for restaurants, lodging, bike shops, and rest rooms along the way

Maps and elevation profiles

Whether you’re an experienced cyclist, an emerging enthusiast, or someone looking for the perfect family ride, you’ll find routes in North Carolina that are perfect for your ability and interests.
